The following is just a guide to the art of palm reading. In order to gain valuable insight your palm needs to be read by a professional palm reader such as Peter John.

Peter offers an on-line palm reading service right on this website.

The Fingers

If the fingers are smooth it shows you are impulsive.  If your knuckles are prominent you think before you act.

Finger of Jupiter

This is the index finger.  It is the finger of authority.  If it is long you have a need to take charge and if it is short you hold yourself back.

Finger of Saturn

This is the second finger often called the middle finger.  It shows the amount of balance and self-control you have.

Finger of Sun (Apollo)

This is the third finger and it will show how much creativity and interest in the arts you have.

Finger of Mercury

This is the forth finger and it will show your ability to speak before others, express yourself and willingness to help others.

The Thumb

The first flang will show your will power, the second your logic in how you think, the third is the mount of venus which indicates your family, friends and relations.


Next we go to the mounts in the hand starting from the nounts lying at the base of the fingers and have the same name as the fingers.

The Mount of Jupiter

This is located under the first (index) finger and indicates a persons ambition, honor and dignity. This part of the hand must be read in relation to the first finger.

The Mount of Saturn

This is located under the second finger and indicates wisdom, optimism and prudence. It must be read with the second finger and fate line.

Mount of Apollo (Sun)

Mount of Mercury

Located under the fourth finger this mount indicates how we work with people, our intelligence, our inventiveness and love of work.
